Looking for a live stream of the Dallas Cowboys-Green Bay Packers Week 5 matchup? There are a handful of different options, even if you don’t have a cable subscription.
Kickoff is scheduled for 4:25 p.m. Eastern and will be broadcast in select markets on Fox. The first thing you want to do is to find out if the game is in your market or not, which you can do by checking a coverage map here.
If the game is in your market, those with a cable log-in can watch on Fox Sports Go, while people who have cut the cable cord–or are looking to do so–can watch a live stream of Fox via an over-the-top streaming service, which provides access to a handful of channels for a monthly fee.
With the rising popularity of these services, there are a number to choose from: Sling TV, DirecTV Now, Fubo TV or PlayStation Vue. They have different pros and cons, but each offers a free trial, so you can test them out if you want to try different services.
Note that with all of these services, Fox is only live in select markets. To see if Fox is available in your city, check the following links for each service: Sling TV (“Show My Available Channels”); DirecTV Now; Fubo TV; PlayStation Vue (Click the city in the top right to enter your zip code).
If the game isn’t in your market, you may be able to watch via NFL Sunday Ticket.
